Art: CORONATION SKETCHES

Sir Hugh Casson, 42, who made his name (and his knighthood) by
supervising the architectural preparations for the 1951 Festival of
Britain, is in charge of decorating London's Westminster section for
Queen Elizabeth's coronation. A solemn-looking man, he has taken
lighthearted femininity as his motif. "After all," says he,
"it will be a woman's day." Reproduced on the opposite page
are some of the working sketches which he and his associates have
prepared.

OXFORD STREET, one of the world's busiest shopping thoroughfares, will
be decorated with crests of shoemaking, hat-making, umbrella-making and
other crafts.
